Coca-Cola East and West Africa has won a battle against the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) for the refund of Sh670 million after a tribunal ruled that the services offered by the company were zero-rated.

A six-member Tax Appeals Tribunal held that the marketing and promotional services offered by the company to its foreign affiliate, even though operating locally, are not within KRA's legal taxing right.
